I'll second Cynth

that's my 2nd second, innit?

I would like to nominate Denny for all of the excellent quality pictures that he has graced the forums with.

Best,
Paul

On another note, I would like to anti-nominate J.Gilder for all of his off-topic rhetoric and trolling. At least he has his own forum now.

As flattered as I am by the kind words, and as appreciative, maybe it's best to thank you again for them and then respectfully bow out of anything like a competition. We are all so different here, and all (well almost all, hehe) jewels in our own fashion: who's to say that the shine on one isn't just a reflection from another?

So thanks, Tony, and thanks Denny and Alan (*glares at dubh*)--you made my day, as you have so often done with your own kindness, musicality, and wit.

Is this not quite possibly the sweetest post ever?

I don't know... kinda makes me feel like a heel.

Do we have a catagory for "sweetest post"?

Or "posts that inadvertently make the kind-hearted originator of this contest feel like a heel"? I am sorry, Walden! I know your purpose is to lift up excellent posting; I guess I just felt uncomfortable in the spotlight.

Sorry again!

In light of cskinner's very valid points, and also in consideration that participation in this thread has been really very light, perhaps it would be best to move away from the idea of a single "Excellent in Posting Award" and go with categories like the big awards shows have --

Best performance by drama queen (Male and female)
Best sneaking of profanity past the g0dd@^^ censor
Outstanding performance in a deleted thread
Best use of posted images
Most egregious waste of bandwidth
Best channeling of Walt Kelly
Best post involving the death of something cute
Most pretentious use of Latin
Best skirting of the “Medical Advice” rule
Most saccharine
Most likely to make that vein stand out on Dale’s forehead
Best post that actually has something to do with chiffs and/or fipples

Then we could have a big gala with a red carpet and a shrieking harpy commenting on fashion faux pas and a presentation ceremony and maybe even a pot luck dinner with copious amounts of hot dish and green bean casserole.

I was seconding, by way of adminishing everyone to hear Paul.
I guess I should have said, "Read, Read!"
